for ALL those proposing to last one year with a simple single set up...this can be a place for you to post your progress and your thoughts...who knows you might even convert some of us sticks in the mud...

Without getting involved in the public display of humility, I started the one camera/lens/film challenge about 12 hours ago. I now realized that my creativity has been artificially stifled so I am hereby removing myself from the challenge. Yes, I am weak but firmly committed to making good images so it's back to my old ways. Good luck to y'all!

Since I am about to embark on a 1 year long experiment of just using one camera with one lens, I have to by default, use a digital camera on this one, if I am to allow for any photographic moment to prevail. But, I will use a Leica M mount lens to keep with the spirit of the challenge. (ZM 50mm f/1.5 C-Sonnar T*... I will only use f/1.5 as a further limitation)

I have been experimenting with the sacred "Film Noir Look" for a week or so... My images at the offset will reflect this for now.

I guess hellenhill and others have inspired this at the moment.

Taken Today... My start day.

I may not post an image everyday... but at least once a week.
I am not a traveler, so, my images are very local.

I enjoy using some of these cameras too much to not use them for a year, but I really like the idea of this. I even have a fixed lens 135 that would be perfect, it's even a zone focus so I would learn a lot.... but.... I don't think I can do it.

Got my m/43 dedicated 3 tube extension set in the mail the other day, and I just had to try it out. I took 2 photos, 1 with no tubes, just the adapters, and 1 with all 3 tubes (posted else where on this site). Now, I just have to include this addition for this project...
Sooooo, with the Tubes I will have to use f/11-16, but, for my standard stuff, F/1.5 (f/1.5-F/2.8 until my .6 ND comes in)..
OK, I have set up a Google Gallery that will contain images of my progress, and I will post a few here know and again., Feel free to leave comments on any images in that gallery.....All for now...

Hey y’all!
I want to start that thing out as well (maybe, not completely sure yet).
I’d take my Bessa R, the CV Color-Skopar Pancake 35mm 2,5 and APX 100 and 400 (or maybe for High-ISO Tri-X, so you see, I’m not that strong with me). If I really do it, I tell you!
Do you think, the 35mm ist fine, or shell I take a 50mm? I think, I like the 35mm better, but the 50mm is just the standard-lens. There is nothing more classic, so what would you do?

Question; would it be cheating to use two different format cameras if the lens were of the same or close to the same relative focal length?
Example M4-2 with 35mm and Fuji GS645S with 60mm
Tri-X and Arista Premium 400.

Not work safe

I think, there is no cheating. We all do it on our own. Not to prove something to „The Online Photographer“ or anyone else. So at least, I will do it for my own, to improve my photography. So, do your own experiment, and if that includes using two cameras, go for it!

The Leica M6 TTL LHSA I got from KEH took a poop on itself. I returned it. Serendipitously, two days later, my trusty 2002 M7 returned from Leica after an epic 10-month repair journey. So, now that it's back home, my 1/1/1 camera kit will be:

Leica M7
Summilux-M 35 pre-ASPH
Tri-X

I hope people embarking on this will post photos to the thread, as well as links.

It's been a week since my last entry. I have been out a few times and I since I am using a 50 on a G1, it is a 100 fov for practical purposes. I am getting better looking for images, and I am not parking too close as I might, if I used it on my M5..
